Starting to struggle

[vodkaredbull]

At the 3 month mark.

Been on 11 or nic for last 8 weeks. Been doing fine.

Only really like fruity flavours and been using a Ego. Got meself an 1100 Twist omg Dont think I will be using that much it is soo blummin big Why is that.

Anyway am struggling, in wanting a cig. And finding that these are coming more frequently.

2 weeks ago I was fine around smokers, now I just want to rip the cigs right out of the hands. I could so easy just cane a pack of fags.

I know they will taste horrible, but I still WANT A cig.

I am an all or nothing kind of gal. I know I wont just stop at 1. And there you go I will be smoking again.

I love the effects of NOT smoking, no smells, more cash etc. I am so proud of myself. My family are too.

I WANT A BLOODY CIG

I dont want to up my nic levels, as I want eventually to be on zero.

Anyone else get this

yeah me I upped the nic levels and have managed to find 2 maybe 3 juices that I like , trouble is I'm vaping almost constantly now and I've killed my taste buds by the end of the day

Hiya been two weeks or so for me and yes I get the feeling of rolling a fat one !!!
Its hard but I'm convincedit will get better, stick with it and stay healthy:

I havnt had a cig since june...i tried a friends last week.....the taste was disgusting....and was coughing so much nearly made me sick...not to mention my heart rate went mad....stay strong

I honestly think you should consider upping your nic level. I know you want to end up on 0% nic, and that is a worthy goal - but with the cravings you're having I think upping your nic level is far better than giving in and having a fag. You can always bring your levels down again, and anyway getting to zero nic isn't a race. You are NOT failing if you increase your nic levels, ESPECIALLY if increasing keeps you off the fags. And give the Twist another try - it's bigger because it has a bigger, better and longer lasting battery. I have 2 the same size as yours and I love them to bits. And huge "well done" from me for getting to 3 months, that is brilliant!

Stop putting yourself under unnecessary pressure and have a fag, then you'll see why you don't like them and up that nic content as its obviously too low, bring it back down gradually at a later stage. Why do people keep beating their selves up over this ???
For some its instant, for others it takes a little time and for some it takes a little more time.
It took me a year to become completely CIG free, when the craving came on I simply lit a fag- for me it was a case of 3 or4 puffs and throwing it away again because It tasted rank but I needed to be reminded a few times

[suede]

Better to up your nic level than smoking--you'll be uping it anyway if you do start again.As said I really don't understand people beating themselves up over this ???

[piper1]

Don't do it, tell yourself you don't need one and because we are all in it together.

If it's any consolation I still get those I could really murder a cig moment and I'm coming up to my 2 year marker ... as has already been suggested up your nic levels !

I ended up having 12 ciggys in the 1st 2 months and didn't worry about it. Now I use 24mg most of the time, If I want a fruity flavour I drop it to 12 mg and then I have a 36 mg for when I get those cravings. For a while I was using the 36 far too often so I made another one up with 20% spearmint that knocks my head off, so I tend to only use it if I really need it. It's over 6 weeks since I have had a cigarette but if I ever do have another one I wouldn't worry about it.

[lobeydosser]

Are you craving a fag or are you craving the nicotine?

If you are on 11mg, then you were not smoking more than about 5 or 10 fags a day to start with. If you were used to smoking more than this, then your body is craving nicotine and you should up your mg level, at least for a while.
If you were only smoking a small amount daily, then have a fag or three and see how you are after that.

Try an 18mg juice,i get the odd ......."god i could do a rollie right now" feeling but a qiock bang on the LT im fine or if i smell a smoker near me that outs me off.I can now detect a smoker miles away!Its not nice!

[4madcats]

Maybe you could up the nic for just part of the day, say the morning when you need to "load" your system, & then bring it down again in the evening

Better to up your nic level than smoking--you'll be uping it anyway if you do start again.

Also how many flavours do have on the go. Right now I have 7 ( omg didn't realise it was that many). These are spread out amoungst carts & CE2s, I only use novas for my all day vape, then if I start to feel itchy I just swap to a different flavour . . sorted.

Thanks everyone, I dont know whether its the nicotine, or that light up, feel the burn, smell, thing sorry if that bugs anyone craving also.

I just really dont want a cig and ruin it all, tbh I cant believe Ive got this far. I have smoked since 15 yrs, 40 sumthin now. Half of that a heavy smoker. My will power has always been zero. Have wanted to quit for ages, but never knew how til this. Even on patches I still smoked lol.

So far I counted a day, if I can do a day, I can do 2, A week 2 weeks and so on lol.

Guna retry my twist, and will order higher nic tues when I get paid. I suppose, thats the best alternative.

I am also getting sck of the judgy responses off non - smokers ex smokers & bloody smokers who seem to a have a stock, so when will you stop that, or well your still smoking cause your having nicotine >
